To feel safe you need to know that I would not pass your details onto a third party, and that everything we discuss in our therapy sessions is kept strictly confidential.
To enable me to do this, I am registered with the Information Commission, in accordance with the new Data Protection legislation coming into force in May 2018. My registration No is: ZA341086.
If I feel that you are at risk of harming yourself or others, I may need to break confidentiality, by sharing this with a health professional, such as your GP. However, I would endeavour to share this with you, and gain your consent.
As a member of BACP and COSRT, I am required to have regular supervision, and so I will need to discuss our work from time to time with my supervisor. However, I will not disclose your name, or any other details which would enable you to be identified.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about how counselling works, or to arrange an initial appointment. This enables us to discuss the reasons you are thinking of coming to counselling, whether it could be helpful for you and whether I am the right therapist to help.
You can call me on 077721 12039 if you would prefer to leave a message or speak to me first. I am happy to discuss any queries or questions you may have prior to arranging an initial appointment.
I am flexible about appointment times, offering early morning appointments that you could fit around a busy commute, and evening and Saturday morning appointments if you work late, or need to arrange babysitting. Appointments can be held in person, or online via Zoom, Facetime or telephone.
